[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked, just paid regular.  However, my employers aren't' wealthy [b]so I don't really expect paid vacation/paid sick days.[/b][/quote]

These are essential components to a healthy job. To any healthy job. These are basic rights you have as an employee. Here in the US, we have the lowest or among the lowest (depending on the data you're looking at) paid leave of anywhere in the world. We also have no mandated maternity - or paternity - leave. When you say things like the above, you are acting like you are not a human being deserving of anything other than 100% work. Work, moreover, in which you must suffer a loss of income for getting sick, as everyone does at some time. You are selling yourself short and you are contributing to the culture of classism that is directly fueling America's global decline. You are a person. A worthy person. You deserve paid leave from your job. No ifs, ands, or buts.[/quote]

I think you are a bit naive to think that having paid vacation and paid sick days are a "right."  While they certainly are nice to have, many jobs do not provide them, particularly those that are paid hourly. PP feels fairly compensated for the work she does. Who are you to lecture her?  [/quote]
